We needed to get our Wills updated and LPA's put in place and Megan provided us with a first class service and was a pleasure to deal with. She is extremely knowledgeable and simplified the whole process. We would have no hesitation in recommending her, and we'll certainly be using Atwell's again.

Superb Service

I cannot thank or praise you more highly. You have been so professional dealing with the sale of mum’s house and then her subsequent death and then the final sale. I have been quite an emotional client , dealing with my own husband’s death and then all the proceedings selling mum’s house, and then her death. You have been so caring towards me during this difficult time, showing support for me as well as being so professional with the sale. I cannot recommend you and your service more highly. Thank you for making the whole process so much easier for me. With very kindest regards

from Attwells Solicitors LLP

Thank you for your review. We are sorry for your loss, and we’re honoured to have been able to support you during such a difficult time. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we are pleased we could make the process a little easier for you.

Recommend for wills

I had a really positive experience with Attwells Solicitors when arranging my will. Megan was extremely helpful and clearly very knowledgeable, which made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. She managed to get everything prepared very quickly, and when I went in to sign the will the appointment was smooth and efficient. I was also impressed with how fast everything was finalised afterwards. My copy of the will arrived in the post within just two days, which was much quicker than I expected. Overall, the service was professional, friendly, and very efficient. I'd definitely recommend Attwells to anyone looking to sort out their will.

Quick, reassuring, and completely stress-free

I can't recommend Samuel Welham highly enough. I came to him with a time-sensitive settlement agreement and a very tight deadline, and he understood the seriousness and urgency of my situation straight away. He sorted everything within a day, replied to my emails almost immediately, and explained everything clearly throughout. On top of being so responsive and efficient, he was genuinely kind and reassuring, which made a stressful situation far easier to handle. Thank you, Sam!

We had lived in our house for 43 years and we had no experience of estate agents or conveyance solicitors. Our Estate agents recommended Charlotte from Attwells Solicitors in Colchester. I preferred email communication so I had a record of conversations. Charlotte really looked after us and there was never a ‘ stupid question’ as far as Charlotte was concerned. There were a few tricky legal parts of our sale and purchase which Charlotte guided us through with her expertise. If I emailed Charlotte about anything, she replied really quickly which is so important in a house sale. I cannot fault her and is a credit to Attwells. I shall miss our daily emails in our journey and I’m happy to say we have now moved into our new home and we are very happy. So if you are considering moving, ask for Charlotte from Attwells. You can’t go wrong!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that Charlotte was able to guide you through the trickier parts of your sale and purchase, answer all your questions and keep everything moving with her quick communication. We’re so pleased you’re now settled into your new home and wish you all the very best!
